So, what's this I hear about a banner flying over thew house.

Damn we had fun with those in Year 1!

This would be the perfect year to use them too since none of these people seem to be able to maintain a decision from one hour to the next!

I may check into the cost. It might be fun.

I wouldn't bother. The producers seem to have a direct eye on the nearest airport, and they bundle the HGs inside when suspicious planes take off. BB did it just before the Veto ceremony, and stashed the HGs in the HOH.

But that was part of the fun in Season 1 -- trying to outsmart the producers and get the banner seen by the HG's before they were ordered into the house!

If you guys think AP gives the audience some ability to interact with the game, you should have been around in Season 1! Those HG's lived for the banners.

We were also able to get close enough to the house to yell things to the HG's and there were even a couple of times things were thrown into the backyard. I doubt this is possible anymore. But anyone know where on the CBS lot the house is? And which lot? Might be fun to google-earth it.

Yeah, and the banners truly gave Nicole in BB2 a breakdown. She had to spend hours with a doctor in the DR. That wasn't fun to me.

I will never understand the impulse of some people to be a "part" of BB without being invited. It really does spoil it for everyone else. But I guess it gives some people a sense of power, or connection that they lack, or something. But watching Nicole fall apart like that proved to me that it's not a good idea.

Absolutely loved the banner planes in the first season. The toilet paper and candy over the wall was a hoot too.

There is no way you'll get a banner there. Not just because the producers have moles at all of the regional airports. As soon as a banner is spotted, the HGs are sent inside for lockdown. And, IIRC, the HGs were told they'd get a penalty nom if a banner was flying and they read it.

I loved the banners too. Anyone who can fall apart from what a banner says, should not have been in there in the first place

I think a banner was attempted during BB6. And the HGs were hustled inside pretty quickly.

I remember year 1 very well....and year 2.

I guess I just feel the banner are no big deal if no one in the house saw it. It's as if there never was a banner.

There have been banners this year but not about BB. I was watching one day when Dick and Jessica read a banner about the new Die Hard movie.

RealityBBQ is reporting that the banner that the HGs were not allowed to see yesterday read: "We see the D.R. Trust Nick. Eric Lies."

See, that's exactly what I mean. I don't want the HGs to cotton onto the whole AP twist. It infuriates me that someone out there wants feel important so badly that they'll ruin my fun, and millions of others' fun, by spoiling the twist, or getting the twist voted out early when he's playing the game just fine so far.

But Bastable...The twist, and Eric's lies is helping to get Nick voted out early. That infuirates many and it can ruin their fun...

I think the thing about having banner spotters is totally bogus and just done to scare people into not sending banners.

If it were true, why do the HGs NEVER get put in the house before banners show up? Why do they always have to frantically herd them in as we hear the banner plane flying overhead? If they truly had spotters (who weren't asleep on the roof of the parking garage) they would have the HGs in well before they even knew a banner was coming.

Season 6 got their banner about Jen and April, and the HGs saw it well before they were herded in. (Maggie saw it for sure)

Maybe on the right day (say, live show day during pre-show hours), there are enough crew around... but in general I don't believe there are truly spotters. If there are, they're very much overpaid for how well they do spotting banners in advance. ;) Yesterday's banner was sent at a DUMB, DUMB time before a competition when the whole crew would've been there. Sunday afternoons or something, when nothing happens in the house and there's just a skeleton crew would be a different story...

Oh, I agree, there aren't spotters. I think there are a few narcs getting paid in the hangars, though. And what we don't know is how often the HGs have been on an inside lockdown for whatever reason when a banner plane flew over.

I think after the first few seasons, BB's producers really cracked down on the regionals. But they relaxed a bit, assuming (erroneously, perhaps) that we'd forgotten about the banners. As was evidenced in Season 6.

LOL banners are passe. Now what you do is wait till BB has everyone on lockdown outside and go by with a bullhorn and THEN give out the info, and be on my...erm your way. :-)

(I haven't done it yet, because I don't have a bullhorn, but I almost did anyway on Sat. during the POV, turns out I should have. )

Since my cable internet went out yesterday afternoon, can someone please tell me what, if anything (LOL) I have missed since yesterday? I don't even think they had had the Veto ceremony before we went kaput! here.

Thanks in advance! :-)
